Question

I have a google map that I have created and its building markers from a database. I am filling those markers with information from the DB. What I would like to do is fill in that information on a div to the right of the map. My thinking is that if I can send the ID of the marker via ajax to a page that will look up the information and reload that page with the information. I am at best an ajax neophyte and I’m not sure where to begin.

Thanks for any help.

It’s not difficult when you use jQuery, I would suggest to use the load-method. It starts a ajax-request and loads the response into the target:

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
          $('#divID').load('some.php?id=123');
        });

(where divID is the ID of the element where you wnat the response to appear)
